When the original Zero-series Shinkansen bullet trains were introduced in 1964, they kindled the hopes of a nation for a brighter future less than 20 years after the devastation of the Second World War. With a top speed of 220 km/h, the Zero-series models were the fastest trains in the world. One secret was the train's aerodynamic design; another was a groundbreaking anti-vibration system. Challenges such as these were addressed by engineers who had honed their skill in war, and were now determined to use their expertise for peaceful purposes. The Shinkansen has fans of all ages. Some photographers will go to extreme lengths to get the ultimate shot of one of these graceful trains, which these days hit speeds of 300 km/h - and they're getting faster.

**ごめん I was smart enough to delete this video from my account. ^__^ This is the reupload.* Finally, I got a job! Therefore I had to move. Tokyo to Kitakyushu (literally, northern KyuShu) via the Shinkansen (bullet train) allowed me to see much of the southern part of the country from my window. Nagoya, Kobe, Hiroshima, and much more (I realize that's a fragment not a sentence, I got nothing tho) This is a compilation of the scenery. At the end I show you what Japanese Hotel rooms are like, or at least the one I stayed in my first night near Kokura station in Kitakyushu Kyushu. *Rate, Subscribe, Comment pleeeeease* ありがとう
Gram and I visit an orchid garden in the middle of Nagoya called Ran no Yakata, and then hop on a train to Kyoto. Check out how the landscape changes during the trip! This may not be the most exciting video, but I wanted to put it up for anyone who might find this interesting. The next video will be more fun!

The Tōkaidō Shinkansen is the world's busiest high-speed rail line. Carrying 151 million passengers a year (March, 2008),[1] it has transported more passengers (over 6 billion)[2] than any other high speed line in the world.[3]Between Tokyo and Osaka, the two largest metropolises in Japan, ten trains per hour with 16 cars each (1300 seats capacity) run in each direction with minimum 3 minutes frequency. en.wikipedia.org The head of a major Japanese railway company has suggested Japan's Shinkansen bullet train technology for a US high-speed railway project. In a speech he delivered in Washington on Monday, Chairman Yoshiyuki Kasai of the Central Japan Railway said that the latest N-700 models would link Washington and New York in 70 minutes, instead of current 3 hours. He also said that bullet trains have not caused one fatal accident since their launch in 1964, and that the Shinkansen system is more energy-saving than other high-speed railway technologies. Speaking to reporters, Kasai unveiled a plan to conduct a test to run the N-700 model at a maximum speed of 330 kilometers per hour for the first time, in November. France's TGV trains currently run at up to 320 kilometers per hour. Earlier on the day, Kasai met with US Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood to promote the technology for its economic benefits. Kasai said that a substantial number of jobs would be created for daily operations as well as for management. President Barack Obama has announced a high-speed ...

http://KevinRileyInc.com I'm always being asked "What's it like to ride the bullet train?" Here, I shot a short segment from a window of the Shinkansen on the Tokaido Line, between Tokyo and Nagoya. Note: Without the constraints of zoning, we have farms, small factories, and residences coexisting side by side. All part of the interesting fabric of Japan.

Trem bala Hayate, na estacao de Omiya. Nesse dia, eu estava indo pra Tokyo. Andando a quase 300 km/h, os trens-bala são um meio de transporte mais rápido que o avião para percorrer distâncias de até 650 quilômetros. Apesar de os aviões voarem a cerca de 800 km/h, os passageiros perdem muito mais tempo para embarcar num aeroporto do que numa estação de trem. Se houvesse um TGV entre Rio de Janeiro e São Paulo, por exemplo, o tempo de viagem seria de 1 hora e 38 minutos. Um vôo entre as duas cidades não chega a 1 hora, mas perde-se pelo menos uns 50 minutos nos procedimentos de check-in e embarque no aeroporto. Curiosamente, a tecnologia dos trens-bala não tem nada de espetacular. Eles são puxados por uma espécie de locomotiva elétrica, da mesma forma que os metrôs, só que abastecidos por correntes até nove vezes maiores. As linhas também são planejadas para alta velocidade, apresentando poucas curvas, estações distantes entre si e ausência de tráfego de trens mais lentos. O primeiro trem de alta velocidade foi o japonês Shinkansen, que estreou em 1964 na linha Tóquio-Nagoya- Kyoto-Osaka. Rota - Sendai a Morioka (Japão) Velocidade* (km/h) - 238,7 Velocidade máxima (km/h) - 450 Distância percorrida (km) - 171,1 Início de operação** - 2002 Hayate (はやて?) is the fastest service on the Tōhoku Shinkansen, and is the only Shinkansen service which goes as far as the current terminus of Hachinohe. It runs at a top speed of 275 km/h between Utsunomiya and Morioka. These services were inaugurated with the opening of the Tōhoku Shinkansen extension to Hachinohe on December 1, 2002. The name "Hayate" has not been used previously on any train service in Japan. The name was chosen with input from the public; roughly translated, it means a strong or violent wind; however, it carries positive connotations of speed and power--ideal for use with a Shinkansen. The Hayate service uses 10-car E2 Series Shinkansen units, with 15 return trips a day operating between Tokyo and Hachinohe, with one return trip between Sendai and Hachinohe. Hayate services are coupled with Komachi services as far as Morioka, where the Komachi cars are uncoupled and proceed to Akita Station via the Akita Shinkansen. Due to the popularity of the quick train service from Tokyo to the Tōhoku region, passengers on both the Hayate and Komachi services must have seat reservations. はやては、東日本旅客鉄道（JR東日本）が東北新幹線で運転する特別急行列車の内、東京駅 - 盛岡駅・八戸駅間を運行する最速達列車及び仙台駅・盛岡駅 - 八戸駅間を運行する各駅停車列車につけられている名称である。 2002年12月1日 - 東北新幹線の八戸延伸に伴い運転を開始 2003年 盛岡駅→八戸駅間運行の「はやて271号」運行開始 2005年12月10日 - ダイヤ改正に伴い、東京駅～盛岡駅間運行の「はやて」運行開始 2007年3月18日 - 健康増進法第25条により、全車両禁煙化。 2007年8月15日 - 臨時ではあるが仙台駅始発となる「はやて332号（仙台14:33発→上野16:22着）」が運行される。上りでの仙台始発の列車は、「はやて」開業以来初めてである。同16日にも運行。 2007年12月1日 - 臨時ではあるが東京発仙台着の「はやて305号（9305B、東京8:32発→仙台着10:33）」が運転された。宮城県沖地震の特例以外では初の運転となった。 2008年3月15日 - 仙台始発東京行き「はやて100号」（仙台7：16発→東京9：04着）を運転開始。同時に、盛岡発の上り1本を臨時に格下げ。 R Series E2-1000 Shinkansen "Hayate" Bullet Train - 4 Cars Set - Kato 10-278 Four (4) cars Bullet Train set Excellent quality and performance Flywheel drive equipped to achieve powerful, realistic and smooth operation DCC friendly Very detailed design and excellent craftsmanship Working head and tail lights (Car 1 & Car 4), change in direction of travel Comes with padded Case to store the set With one (1) pantograph Car 1: Type E223-1018 Coach Car 2: Type E226-1218 Coach Car 3: Type E225-1418 Coach (powered-motor) Car 4: Type E224-1118 Coach Hayate This is the fastest service between Tokyo and Sendai, Morioka or Hachinohe.

新幹線Shinkansen N700 Series - When the latest model of Shinkansen, the Japanese bullet train, was launched on July 1, more than 1300 people showed up at 6 am on a Sunday to pack the seats for the maiden voyage, from Tokyo to Fukuoka. The Series N700 is billed by Japan Railways as the worlds fastest bullet train in service (Frances faster TGV train has been used only to break speed records), with a top speed of 186 mph. - Its the first bullet train to be equipped with an air spring-powered active tilting system, allowing it to whip around corners without slowing down. Special fabric hoods cover the gaps between cars, turning the train into one long, seamless, aerodynamic unit. - Despite all these improvements, the 5-hour trip to Fukuoka will be shortened by a mere 10 minutes. More important, though, the journey will be quieter and more comfortable, and it will use 19 percent less energy than current bullet trains. - World's Fastest Train Specs - • Fast Corners /// The N700 leans into curves, tilting 1 degree more than the angle of the track. This lets it maintain a speed of 168 mph on a curve with a 1.6-mile radius, up from 156 mph for existing trains. - • Power Saver /// Like another emblem of Japanese green design, the Prius, the N700 uses regenerative braking to save power. More cars have motors than on older trains, helping the N700 recover as much energy as possible. - • Up to Speed /// The N700s acceleration is 30 percent greater than its predecessors, the Series ...

Pegando o Shinkansen (trem bala) em Shin Fuji, ate Osaka.Pena que nesse dia, por causa do tempo nublado, nao dava pra ver o Monte Fuji direito. O Shinkansen (新幹線, Shinkansen?, em Japonês) é a rede ferroviária de alta velocidade do Japão, operada pela companhia privada (Japan Railways Group) conhecida como JR. Desde que a linha inicial Tōkaidō Shinkansen abriu em 1964, a rede expandiu-se para ligar a maior parte das cidades das ilhas de Honshu e Kyushu com velocidades até 300 km/h, num território habitualmente fustigado por terramotos e tufões. As velocidades máximas atingidas em viagens experimentais foram de 443 km/h em carris convencionais e de até 580 km/h em linhas maglev. A palavra Shinkansen significa literalmente "Nova Linha Troncal" e por isso refere-se estritamente aos carris, enquanto que os comboios propriamente ditos são referidos oficialmente como "Super Expressos" (超特急chō-tokkyū); no entanto, esta distinção é muito raramente feita, mesmo no próprio Japão. Ao contrário de linhas mais antigas, o Shinkansen usa a bitola padrão, e usa túneis e viadutos para atravessar obstáculos em vez de os contornar. Shin-Fuji Station (Shizuoka) From Wikipedia Shin-Fuji Station(新富士駅) is a train station in Fuji,Shizuoka, Japan, on the Tōkaidō Shinkansen. There are three buses per day from Shin-Fuji Station on the Tōkaidō Shinkansen directly to the 5th Station on Mount Fuji for a price of 3440 Yen. The trip is 2 hours and 40 minutes. The Shinkansen (新幹線, Shinkansen ...

Umekoji Steam museum Kyoto Japan. Shinkansen(bullet train)Kyoto and Mt Fuji. Music Bob Dlyan Mr Tambourine Man. march 26 & 27 2008.The Umekoji Steam Museum was opened in 1972 on the 100th anniversary of the start of railway operation in Japan. The museum was opened to preserve the history of the steam locomotive, a major part of transportation history passing on the story of the steam locomotive to future generations. The many exhibitions at the museum allow visitors to experience and learn about the railway history and railway culture of Japan. The museum features a fan shaped locomotive house with an impressive array of steam locomotives, a turntable used to turn the gigantic locomotives, a steam locomotive in actual operation on the museum's own exhibition track, numerous displays packed with information about steam locomotives and there is even the former Nijo Station House which takes visitors back to the days of the Meiji era.
This is one of the highlights of the trip. Look at around 3:55 , you see a big ass train go right next to us at 200 mph!! It was crazy.
